Apologies
Moderator: ALFA Administrators
I am not really sure what to say here.
To me, death is a funny thing. It reminds me of the people I take for granted. The people I should tell actually mean something to me. In life, I am usually a hardass to people and both cynical and sarcastic with a pretty bleak view on life. To me, when someone I care or respect dies, it shakes things up a bit and for a time, things fall into place.
Roy was someone I genuinely admired. He was someone who never let someone gain anything at his expense, something I can relate to from my own experience. He was someone who I respected for his honesty and integrity. As most people know who lost someone they cared about, words are never enough to express the loss they feel so I wont even try.
Whitey, you old ass. You gave me the thing I value most in life. You gave me a reason to laugh.
Rest in Peace.

We never really got along well on the boards, but message boards are so cold and distant. You just aren't looking at a face when you are so committed to your cause.
I am quite postive that throughout the many debates and intense threads, that if we were face to face we would have cracked up so many times.
Sad to see a person gone so suddenly and if there is an afterlife I hope there is an even better RPG there.
Anyway, my sympathies to White Warlock's family. He was undeniably a pillar here.

We'll miss you WW. Rest in peace.

Not to be terribly morbid, but does your loved one's know how to contact anyone on the forums you inhabit/infest? i'm insulted at the idea of hacked forums (and thus fake events) - surely telling people of such passings is vital but just as vital as proof (plus we know where to send the flowers - SOMETHING to honor passing friends) but surely there are methods to verify such events?
I had the same emotions when i had to post about my brother's passing on his fav forums...

The why's matter not. it's knowing and remembering that's important. Life is a play after all. don't bitch at the players, bitch at the play-write!The dirty was still moist from morning dew when the spade's metal blade was sunk into the earth a final time. Dirty hands clapped together, ridding themselves of material and grit, a child took note from a few paces away. It was warm out, a clear sky of light blue and with it, promise of bright sunlight today. "Mum. Why did flip have to die?"
The dirty hand'ed halfling, palms on the worm workbelt at her hips turned to the child at last. She regarded the hin lass with a look of regret, she didn't want to have to explain this to her littlest one this soon. There was lots things to intruct a child about. Death wasn't on her list of priorities, after all.
"Fluff~dear. It's not just about why. It's about how, or when. it's about rememberance and faith. and love. you did love the dog, did you not?" She took a few steps, knelt down to the little girl and took her into the fierest huggles she could give. the lass trembled against the leather shmook covering her shirt and bosom, stoic posture finally given pass by youthful tears...

Re: Apologies
WW,
We go back for the better part of a decade. You were known for your passionate and lengthy posts, but some of the best were the short ones as this one shall be. We didn't always agree, but I always respected your sincerity and honesty. Here's hoping that the next world finds you, d20 in hand, spinning a story to gamers. My heartfelt regrets to your family in the real world and this fantasy one who feel the loss. Sorry for the tardiness of this post, but I have been out of touch. Game on, brother.

Re: Apologies
WW and I didn't get along, but it saddens me to hear that he's passed away. One thing's for sure, he's in a better place, whatever it may be.

Re: Apologies
well..
not entirely sure what to write but i guess ill start with how Ironic. decided to actually come back here after a lengthy break to find the man that molded and shaped me into the rp'er i am today not only gone from a project i loved but gone for good. Shitty thing is i never really got to thank him for everything he did for me nor apologize for getting him worked up with my stupidity every now and then.
guess it proves to me that even the best of us will eventually fail that last saving throw. Good luck old coot hope you find what you where looking for in death.

This is some shitty news. I spend fifteen months in Iraq--a place that a lot of people think is dangerous--and he croaks it in the world.
But, you know, not one of us gets out alive.
He'd appreciate what I mean by that.
